We decided to troll for dinner and caught a rather nice piece of Wegmann's Salmon! Planning on cooking it up in a few minutes!!
After a full day of travel, we made it as far as the lock opening hours would let us. We actually went from Ilion as far as Schenectady Yacht Club or a total of 72.4 miles along the Canal. Today's travel included a vertical drop of 177' over a total of 11 locks. We are currently only about 13 miles from the Hudson (still have 7 locks to go) and hope to get into the Hudson by mid morning tomorrow.
The boat was in dire need of a bath by the time we got here - between leaves from Ess Kay and dirt from the various lock walls - she was looking more like a tug boat than her normal self. Brushes, soap, hoses and elbow grease were applied and she looks much cleaner and smarter. We even managed to clean off the fenders - which is a good thing since they were rather caked in Lock Dirt..
The Schenectady Yacht Club has surprised us. Pulling up - it would appear that this is a rather small "club" with fairly limited dockage. The clubhouse is a small shack on the shore side - the construction of which might not suggest that there actually is a Wi-Fi setup (which I'm using)!
We will be off early again tomorrow morning - 6:30 this time since we only have 3 miles to the next lock.
More pictures to be posted later once Stephen gets his camera downloaded.
